Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of optical communication technology, and in particular to an information identification method and device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasing demand of bandwidth from users, it has been an irreversible trend for access network to replace copper with optical fiber. In recent years, passive optical network (PON) system has been rapidly developed as a low-cost optical fiber access method providing gigabit per second (Gbps) bandwidth. Meanwhile, the higher generation of ten gigabit passive optical network (XGPON) and ten gigabit symmetrical passive optical network (XGSPON) has been deployed on a large scale. PON technology refers to a point-to-multipoint (P2MP) optical fiber access technology, which is composed of an optical line terminal (OLT) at the local side, an optical network unit (ONU) or an optical network terminal (ONT) at the user side, and an optical distribution network (ODN).

[0003] With the large-scale deployment and application of PON related network, the number of optical fibers is extremely large, and there is a need for network grooming. Network grooming needs to achieve two points: 1. Identify whether the branch optical fiber is connected with an ONU or an ONT to find out the available port resources; 2. The serial number of the online ONU or ONT can be acquired and identified to map and record the branches of the optical splitter, which is convenient for later management and maintenance.

[0004] In the related art, the tested optical fiber needs to be pulled out during the detection process to identify whether the branch optical fiber is connected with an ONU or an ONT. Therefore, it will cause the interruption of service. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application provides an information identification method and device to identify the available port resources and acquire and identify the information of the online ONU or ONT.

[0006] In a first aspect, an information identification method is provided. The method can be performed by an OLT or a chip with OLT functions. In the method, a first device can send configuration information of time domain resources. The configuration information of the time domain resources can be used to indicate time slots in which a second device sends uplink data. The configuration information of the time domain resources can include widths of a plurality of first time slots allocated to the second device. The combination of the widths of the plurality of first time slots allocated to the second device can be used to identify information of the second device. The first device can receive the uplink data.

[0007] Based on the above scheme, the OLT can allocate a plurality of first time slots to an ONT, and the ONT can send uplink data in the first time slots. At this time, a clamping device can be used to clamp a branch optical fiber to cause the optical fiber to bend. The clamping device can collect optical signals generated due to the bending of the optical fiber and identify the optical signals, thereby identifying information of the ONT connected to the branch optical fiber. Since the test optical fiber does not need to be removed, the information of the ONT can be identified without interrupting services.

[0008] In a possible implementation, the widths of the plurality of first time slots can include a first width and / or a second width, and the first width and the second width are different.

[0009] Based on the above scheme, the combination of the first width and the second width can be used to identify the information of the ONT or ONU, and the identification of the information of the ONT or ONU can be implemented.

[0010] In a possible implementation, the information of the second device can include at least one of a serial number of the second device, manufacturer information of the second device, or a port number of a first device used by the second device to connect to the first device.

[0011] Based on the above scheme, the plurality of first time slots can be allocated to the ONT or ONU, so that the combination of the widths of the first time slots represents the serial number, the manufacturer information, and the port number used by the ONT or ONU, facilitating the management and maintenance in the later stage and enabling the identification of available port resources.

[0012] In a possible implementation, the configuration information of the time domain resources can further include a width of at least one second time slot allocated to the first device. The at least one second time slot can be before the plurality of first time slots, and the at least one second time slot can be a starting marker of the information of the second device.

[0013] Based on the above scheme, the width of the second time slot can be defined as a starting marker bit of the information of the ONU or ONT, and the identification of the information of the branch optical fiber can be implemented.

The combination of the widths of the plurality of third time slots allocated to the at least one third device can be used to identify the information of the at least one third device.

[0016] Based on the above scheme, the time slot width of the plurality of ONTs can be controlled by the OLT, and the influence of some ONUs with high bandwidth requirements can be reduced.

[0017] In a possible implementation, the plurality of first time slots can include a fourth time slot carrying uplink data of at least one fourth device.

[0018] Based on the above scheme, the idle time slots can be allocated to the ONTs for service transmission, and the influence of the reduced transmission rate of signals on service requirements can be reduced.

[0019] In a second aspect, an information identification method is provided. The method can be performed by an ONT or an ONU, or can be performed by a chip with the functions of the ONT or the ONU. In the method, a second device can receive configuration information of a time domain resource. The configuration information of the time domain resource can be used to indicate time slots of uplink data, and the configuration information of the time domain resource can include the widths of a plurality of first time slots allocated to the second device. The combination of the widths of the plurality of first time slots allocated to the second device can be used to identify the information of the second device, and the second device can send uplink data in the plurality of first time slots.

[0020] Based on the above scheme, the OLT can allocate the plurality of first time slots that can identify the information of the ONT to the ONT, and the ONT can send uplink data in the first time slots. At this time, a clamping device can be used to clamp the branch optical fiber to cause a certain bending of the optical fiber. The clamping device can collect optical signals generated due to the bending of the optical fiber, and identify the optical signals, so as to identify the information of the ONT connected to the branch optical fiber. Since the test optical fiber does not need to be pulled out, the information of the ONT can be identified without interrupting the service.

[0021] In a possible implementation, the widths of the plurality of first time slots can include a first width and / or a second width, and the first width and the second width are different.

[0022] Based on the above scheme, the combination of the first width and the second width can be used to identify the information of the ONT or the ONU, and the identification of the information of the ONT or the ONU can be implemented.

[0025] In a possible implementation, the configuration information of the time domain resource can further include a width of at least one second time slot allocated to the first device, the at least one second time slot being before the multiple first time slots, and the at least one second time slot being a starting marker of the information of the second device.

[0029] Based on the above scheme, the OLT can control the time slot widths of multiple ONTs, which can reduce the impact of some ONUs with high bandwidth requirements.

[0030] In a possible implementation, the multiple first time slots can include a fourth time slot carrying uplink data of at least one fourth device.

[0031] Based on the above scheme, the idle time slot can be allocated to the ONT for service transmission, which can reduce the impact of reduced signal transmission rate on service requirements.

[0032] In a third aspect, an information identification method is provided. The method can be performed by a clamping device or a chip with a function similar to that of the clamping device. In the method, a fourth device can detect a pulse envelope of a first optical signal, the first optical signal corresponding to signals on multiple first time slots. The fourth device can determine widths of the multiple first time slots corresponding to the first optical signal based on the pulse envelope of the first optical signal. The fourth device can determine information of a second device sending the first optical signal based on the widths of the multiple first time slots.

[0033] Based on the above scheme, when identifying the serial number of the ONT, the uplink data sent by the ONT can be detected, and then the time slot width carrying the uplink data is detected and judged, so that the speed of the detected signal is reduced. Since the corresponding signal speed is low, only simple receiving sampling is needed to recover the serial number, so that the information of the corresponding ONT can be obtained while identifying whether the optical fiber has a service.

[0034] In a possible implementation, the width of the plurality of first time slots can include a first width and / or a second width, and the first width and the second width are different.

[0091] Hereinafter, professional terms related to embodiments of the present application are explained and described.

[0092] 1) The width of a time slot, or can be referred to as time slot width, can refer to the length of a time slot. Referring to Figure 1 , the time slot can be a continuous time domain resource, as shown by a in Figure 1 . Alternatively, the time slot can be a non-continuous time-frequency resource, and there can be idle time domain resources in a time slot, as shown by b in Figure 1 .

[0093] Hereinafter, an information identification method provided by an embodiment of the present application is described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0094] At present, due to the extremely large number of optical fibers, there is a need for network grooming. Among them, two points need to be achieved in network grooming: first, identify whether the branch optical fiber is connected with an ONU or an ONT, in order to find out the available port resources. Second, the serial number of the online ONU or ONT can be acquired and identified, in order to map and record the branches of the optical splitter, so as to facilitate the later management and maintenance.

[0095] In the related art, a branch optical fiber to be measured can be pulled out and connected to an OLT simulation terminal that can simulate OLT functions. If the branch optical fiber is connected to an ONU or an ONT at the end, a communication link can be established, and the OLT simulation terminal can obtain serial number information of the ONU through the communication link, which is saved and recorded as a result of carding. However, since the optical fiber to be tested needs to be pulled out during detection, this operation will inevitably cause the corresponding ONT to temporarily interrupt normal services and continue throughout the operation process, resulting in poor user experience. In addition, the OLT simulation terminal has relatively complex hardware power supply requirements, which increases the cost.

[0096] In addition, when carding the optical fiber, a detection device that clamps the optical fiber can be used to clamp the branch optical fiber to cause the optical fiber to bend. When the optical fiber bends, there will be light leakage. By detecting whether there is leaked light in the uplink direction, it can be determined whether the optical fiber is idle, so as to realize network carding. However, only whether there is light on the link can be detected during the detection process, so as to determine whether the optical fiber resource is available, and therefore the ONU or ONT serial number of the branch optical fiber cannot be identified for acquisition and identification.

[0097] The information identification method provided in the embodiments of the present application is used to identify the ONU or ONT serial number and other information of the branch optical fiber. The information identification method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to a communication system 200 as shown in the accompanying drawings. Figure 2 The communication system 200 can include a first device 210 and at least one second device 220. The first device 210 can send control transmission information to the at least one second device 220, and the at least one second device 220 can send transmission information to the first device 210.

[0098] The communication system 200 described above can be an optical communication system, such as a PON system. The PON system can be a gigabit-capable PON (GPON) system, an Ethernet PON (EPON) system, a 10G Ethernet passive optical network (10G-EPON) system, a 10-gigabit-capable passive optical network (XG-PON) system, or a 10-gigabit-capable symmetric passive optical network (XGS-PON) system, etc. The TDM PON system is a point 2 multiple point (P2MP) system.

[0099] As an example, referring to Figure 3A , an optical communication system can include at least an OLT and a plurality of ONTs, and the OLT communicates with the plurality of ONTs respectively. In the embodiments of the present application, the optical communication system can also include an OLT and a plurality of ONUs, and the OLT communicates with the plurality of ONUs respectively, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application, and the subsequent description takes the ONT as an example. Referring to Figure 3A , the OLT communicates with n ONTs through an optical splitter. Figure 3A In the figure, the n ONTs are respectively an ONT1, an ONT2, …, and an ONTn. Each ONT emits light on a designated time slot allocated by the OLT, or is described as transmitting an optical signal.

[0100] Figure 3A In the figure, only a one-level optical splitting networking structure is shown, and in the implementation process, two or more levels of optical splitting can be used, that is, a secondary optical splitter is connected under the branch of the optical splitter, and the principle is the same as that of the one-level optical splitting networking. Based on the networking structure of Figure 3A , referring to Figure 3B , an ODN structure diagram is shown. The ODN network mainly includes an optical distribution frame (ODF), an optical cable, an optical cable joint box, an optical splitter, and an optical fiber connector and other passive optical devices.

[0101] For a PON system, the OLT to the ONT is called downstream, and a continuous broadcast mode is used. The ONT to the OLT is called upstream, and a time division multiplexing burst mode is used, that is, the OLT allocates the transmission time slots of the ONTs according to certain rules, and only in the allocated time slots, the specific ONT can transmit the upstream signal light.

[0102] Referring to Figure 3C , the OLT can transmit the transmission time slots allocated to the ONT1, the ONT2, and the ONT3 to the ONT1, the ONT2, and the ONT3. The ONT can determine the transmission time slot allocated to itself from the allocation information of the transmission time slots. As shown in Figure 3C , the ONT1 can determine that the transmission time slot 1 is the transmission time slot allocated to itself, the ONT2 can determine that the transmission time slot 2 is the transmission time slot allocated to itself, and the ONT3 can determine that the transmission time slot 3 is the transmission time slot allocated to itself. After receiving the transmission time slot, the ONT can transmit the information of the transmission time slot corresponding to itself to the user end. Referring to Figure 3D , the user end can transmit upstream data on the transmission time slot allocated by the OLT. The ONT can transmit the upstream data transmitted by the user end to the OLT.

[0103] Referring to Figure 4An exemplary flowchart of the information identification method provided by the embodiments of the present application can include the following operations:

[0104] S401, the OLT sends configuration information of time domain resources, and the corresponding ONT receives the configuration information of the time domain resources.

[0105] The configuration information of the time domain resources can be used to indicate time slots in which the ONT sends uplink data. The configuration information of the time domain resources can include widths of a plurality of first time slots allocated to the ONT. The combination of the widths of the plurality of first time slots can be used to identify information of the ONT. The information of the ONT can include at least one of a serial number of the ONT, manufacturer information of the ONT, and a port number of the OLT used when the ONT is connected to the OLT.

[0106] The following is described by taking the serial number as an example. In a PON system, each ONT has a unique coded identifier, referred to as a serial number. Generally, the serial number is represented by 32-bit binary data, and the OLT can know the serial number of each ONT. The OLT can identify the serial number of the ONT by the combination of the widths of the plurality of first time slots allocated to the ONT.

[0107] S402, the ONT sends uplink data, and the corresponding OLT receives the uplink data.

[0108] The ONT can send the uplink data to the OLT on the plurality of first time slots allocated by the OLT.

[0109] Based on the above scheme, the OLT can allocate the plurality of first time slots that can identify the information of the ONT to the ONT, and the ONT can send the uplink data on the first time slots. At this time, a clamping device can be used to clamp the branch optical fiber to cause the optical fiber to bend. The clamping device can collect the optical signal generated due to the bending of the optical fiber and identify the optical signal, thereby identifying the information of the ONT connected to the branch optical fiber.

[0110] The following describes the widths of the plurality of first time slots allocated to the ONT. For ease of description, the information of the ONT is taken as the serial number of the ONT. It should be understood that the information of the ONT can also include the serial number of the ONT, the manufacturer information of the ONT, and the port number of the OLT used when the ONT is connected to the OLT, etc.

[0111] In one possible implementation, the widths of two time slots can be defined. For example, a first width X1 is defined to represent "1", and a second width X2 is defined to represent "0", or vice versa. Referring to Figure 5 , the width of time slot T2 represents "1", and the width of time slot T3 represents "0", Figure 5 , the sequence shown in FIG. 4 is 1010. It should be understood that Figure 5The width of the time slot in the first time slot is only exemplary. The OLT can allocate a plurality of first time slots to the ONT according to the serial number of the ONT known, and the width of the first time slot can be the first width and / or the second width. The width sequence of the plurality of first time slots can identify the serial number of the ONT.

[0112] In one example, the OLT can allocate a plurality of first time slots to the ONT in turn. The width sequence of the plurality of first time slots allocated by the OLT to the ONT can represent the serial number of the ONT. Referring to Figure 6A The plurality of first time slots allocated by the OLT to the ONT. Figure 6A In the example shown in FIG. 6, the width sequence of the plurality of first time slots is "11011000", and thus the serial number of the ONT is "11011000". Optionally, the sequence "11011000" can be converted to decimal, and thus the serial number of the ONT is "216".

[0113] Based on the above scheme, the uplink data sent by the ONT can be detected when identifying the serial number of the ONT, and the width of the time slot carrying the uplink data is detected and judged, thereby reducing the rate of the detected signal. Since the corresponding signal rate is low, the serial number can be recovered by simple receiving sampling, so that the serial number of the corresponding ONT can be obtained while identifying whether the optical fiber has a service.

[0114] Optionally, referring to Figure 6A As shown in FIG. 7, there is a free time slot between adjacent first time slots in the plurality of first time slots allocated by the OLT to the ONT. The OLT can also allocate the free time slot to the ONT for service transmission. For example, the OLT can allocate the free time slot to the ONT other than the ONT1 shown in FIG. 6 for service transmission. Figure 6A The width of the time slot between the plurality of first time slots can be different from the width of any of the plurality of first time slots, or the width of the time slot between the plurality of first time slots can be the same as the width of a certain first time slot, which is not limited in the present application.

[0115] Optionally, referring to Figure 6A As shown in FIG. 8, there is a free time slot in the first time slot. The OLT can also allocate the free time slot in the first time slot to the ONT for service transmission. For example, the OLT can allocate the free time slot in the first time slot to the ONT other than the ONT1 shown in FIG. 6 for service transmission. Figure 6A

[0116] Based on the above scheme, the OLT can allocate the free time slot to the ONT for service transmission, and the influence of the reduced signal transmission rate on the service demand can be reduced.

[0117] ​The length or the number of the first time slots that the OLT assigns to the ONT to identify the serial number can be predefined. The OLT can assign the first time slots to the ONT according to the serial number of the ONT within the predefined length, and the width sequence of the first time slots can identify the serial number of the ONT. Alternatively, the OLT can assign the first time slots to the ONT within a predefined number of times, and the width sequence of the first time slots can identify the serial number of the ONT. The OLT can continue to assign the first time slots to the next ONT to identify the serial number of the ONT when the number or the length of the first time slots that the OLT assigns to the ONT satisfies the predefined number or length. The OLT can randomly select the ONT to which the first time slots are assigned to achieve the round-robin of all the ONTs.

[0118] Alternatively, the OLT can round-robin all the ONTs again after completing the round-robin of all the ONTs once until a predefined number of times of the round-robin is satisfied or the detection is completed.

[0119] In another example, the OLT can assign time slots for transmitting uplink data to a plurality of ONTs respectively. The width sequence of the time slots that the OLT assigns to the plurality of ONTs can represent the serial number of the ONT respectively. The ONT can determine the time slot assigned to itself from the plurality of time slots assigned by the OLT and transmit uplink data on the time slot assigned to itself. Since the frequency domain resources used by different ONTs are different, the ONT can determine the time slot assigned to itself from the frequency domain resources of the plurality of first time slots. Referring to Figure 6B , the OLT can assign time slots for transmitting uplink data to two ONTs. The frequency domain resource of the first time slot is f1, and the frequency domain resource of the second time slot is f2. The ONT1 and the ONT2 receive the plurality of time slots assigned by the OLT, and determine the time slot assigned to itself from the plurality of time slots according to the frequency domain resource that can be used by itself. For example, the ONT1 can determine that the time slot 1, the time slot 2, the time slot 3 and the time slot 4 are assigned to itself, and the ONT2 can determine that the time slot 5, the time slot 6, the time slot 7 and the time slot 8 are assigned to itself. The width sequence of the time slot 1, the time slot 2, the time slot 3 and the time slot 4 can represent the serial number of the ONT1, and the width sequence of the time slot 5, the time slot 6, the time slot 7 and the time slot 8 can represent the serial number of the ONT2. Figure 6B The width sequence of the time slot 1, the time slot 2, the time slot 3 and the time slot 4 is “0101”, and thus the serial number of the ONT1 can be “0101”. Alternatively, the serial number of the ONT1 in the decimal system is “5”. Similarly, the serial number of the ONT2 can be “0110”, and the serial number of the ONT2 in the decimal system is “6”.

[0120] The length or the number of the first time slots that can identify the serial number allocated by the OLT to the plurality of ONTs can be predefined. The OLT can allocate the first time slots that can identify the serial number to the ONTs according to the serial numbers of the ONTs within the predefined length. The OLT can allocate the number of the first time slots with the width sequence that can identify the serial number to the plurality of ONTs respectively. The number of the first time slots with the width sequence that can identify the serial number allocated by the OLT to the plurality of ONTs can be less than or equal to the predefined number.

[0121] Based on the above scheme, the uplink data sent by the ONT can not be detected when identifying the serial number of the ONT, but the width of the time slot carrying the uplink data is detected and judged, thereby reducing the rate of the detected signal. Since the corresponding signal rate is low, only simple receiving sampling is needed to recover the serial number, so that the serial number of the corresponding ONT can be obtained while identifying whether the optical fiber has service.

[0122] Optionally, referring to Figure 6B As shown in the figure, there is a free time slot between adjacent first time slots in the plurality of first time slots allocated by the OLT to the plurality of ONTs. The OLT can also allocate the free time slot to the ONT for service transmission. The width of the time slot between the plurality of first time slots can be different from the width of any time slot allocated to the plurality of ONTs. Alternatively, the width of the time slot between the plurality of first time slots can be the same as the width of a certain time slot allocated to a certain ONT, which is not limited in the present application. Optionally, referring to Figure 6B As shown in the figure, there is a free time slot in the first time slot. The OLT can also allocate the free time slot in the first time slot to the ONT for service transmission.

[0123] In another possible implementation, the width of the second time slot can also be defined. The second time slot can be a start marker of the information of the ONT. The OLT can allocate at least one second time slot to the ONT, and the at least one second time slot can be before the plurality of first time slots in the time domain. It should be noted that the width of the second time slot can be the same as or different from the width of the plurality of first time slots. For example, the width of the second time slot can be defined as a third width, which is different from the first width and the second width. Then, the OLT can allocate at least one second time slot and the plurality of first time slots to the ONT. The at least one first time slot is a start marker bit of the information of the ONT, the plurality of first time slots represent data bits of the serial number, and the width sequence of the plurality of first time slots can identify the serial number of the ONT. Referring to Figure 6C A width diagram of the second time slot and the plurality of first time slots is shown. Figure 6C The width of the second time slot is different from the width of any first time slot, and Figure 6C Only one second time slot is shown in the figure.

[0124] It should be understood that Figure 6CThe width and number of the second time slots and the first time slots are only exemplary.

[0125] The following describes the method of assigning the first time slots and the second time slots to the ONTs by the OLT with a specific example.

[0126] Example 1

[0127] Referring to Figure 7A , the OLT can assign a plurality of first time slots and at least one second time slot to the ONT1, the ONT2 and the ONT3 respectively. The OLT can assign one second time slot T1 and a plurality of first time slots, T2, T3, T2 and T3 respectively to the ONT1 as shown in the following table. Figure 7A The width of the time slot T2 can represent "1" and the width of the time slot T3 can represent "0". The width of the time slot T1 is different from the width of the time slot T2 and the width of the time slot T3. Figure 7A In the example, the serial number of the ONT1 can be "1010", which can be converted into "10" in decimal.

[0128] In addition, Figure 7A In the example, there are idle time slots between the second time slots and the first time slots, and between adjacent first time slots. Figure 7A In the example, the rest of the time slots of the ONTs) can be assigned to the ONT2 and the ONT3 for service transmission. At the same time, the idle gaps in the middle are assigned to other ONTs for normal service transmission. After a certain number of times of sending according to the time slot assignment characteristics, the opportunity of assigning the time slots according to the serial numbers is switched to the next ONT, so as to realize the rotation of all the ONTs. For example, the OLT can assign the second time slots and the first time slots to the ONT1 for a period of time or repeatedly. After the period of time or the number of times of assigning the second time slots and the first time slots to the ONT1 by the OLT satisfies a predefined period of time or number of times, the OLT can assign the first time slots and the second time slots to the ONT2. In this way, the rotation of all the ONTs is realized.

[0129] Example 2

[0130] Referring to Figure 7B , the OLT can assign a plurality of first time slots and at least one second time slot to the ONT1, the ONT2 and the ONTX respectively to realize the uplink time slot width control by the OLT through the serial numbers of the ONTs. Different from the example 1, the OLT simultaneously performs the above operation on all the ONTs in the example 2. In one or more frames of the uplink, the time slots containing the identification serial numbers of more than one ONT, instead of waiting for one ONT to complete the assignment of the time slots of the identification serial numbers for multiple times before the rotation of other ONTs is performed.

[0131] Referring to Figure 7BAs shown, the OLT can respectively allocate the second time slot and the plurality of first time slots according to the time domain resources that can be used by the ONT1, the ONT2 and the ONTX respectively. Figure 7B In the embodiment, the OLT allocates the second time slot T1 and the plurality of first time slots T2, T3, T2 and T3 for the ONT1 respectively. The OLT allocates the second time slot T1 and the plurality of first time slots T3, T3, T2 and T3 for the ONT2 respectively. The OLT allocates the second time slot T1 and the plurality of first time slots T2, T2, T3 and T3 for the ONTX respectively. The OLT can carry the configuration information of the first time slots and the second time slots allocated for the ONT1, the ONT2 and the ONTX in one or more frames of the upstream. Alternatively, the OLT can carry the configuration information of the first time slots and the second time slots allocated for the ONT1, the ONT2 and the ONTX in a single frame of the upstream. The ONT1, the ONT2 and the ONTX can respectively determine the time slots allocated for themselves according to the frequency domain resources that can be used by themselves. The ONT1, the ONT2 and the ONTX can respectively carry the upstream data in the time slots allocated for themselves.

[0132] Figure 7B In the embodiment, the serial number of the ONT1 is "1010", which can be "10" in decimal. The serial number of the ONT2 is "0010", which can be "2" in decimal. The serial number of the ONTX is "1100", which can be "12" in decimal.

[0133] Example 3

[0134] Referring to Figure 7C The OLT can control the width of the upstream time slot by the serial number of the ONT. In the embodiment, the OLT allocates the time slots T1, T2, T3, T2 and T3 for the ONT1 respectively. T1 is the start mark bit of the serial number of the ONT1, and T2, T3, T2 and T3 are the data bits of the serial number of the ONT1. The serial number of the ONT1 is "1010", which can be "10" in decimal.

[0135] Alternatively, the OLT can allocate the time slots for identifying the serial number of the ONT one by one, as shown in Example 1. Alternatively, the OLT can allocate the time slots for identifying the serial number of the ONT for multiple ONTs at the same time, as shown in Example 2.

[0136] Referring to Figure 7C As shown, a small amount of time slots allocated for other ONTs can be inserted in the time slots allocated for the ONT1 (the rest of the time slots of the ONT). Figure 7C In the embodiment, the OLT can allocate the idle time slots in the time slots to the ONT2 and the ONTX for service transmission.

[0137] Based on the above scheme, the OLT allocates corresponding uplink time slots according to the sequence number of the ONT, greatly reduces the transmission rate of the sequence number information, and in combination with the bending leakage detection at the branch optical fiber, realizes the judgment of whether there is an ONT on the optical fiber and the identification of the corresponding ONT sequence number without interrupting the service.

[0138] Through the above scheme, the allocation method of the uplink time slot of the ONT in the embodiment of the application is introduced. When the ONT transmits uplink data, the clamping device can be used to bend the branch optical fiber and detect the optical signal of the branch optical fiber, so as to realize the identification of the time slot width.

[0139] Referring to Figure 8 The clamping device provided in the embodiment of the application. When the optical fiber is combed, the clamping device can be used to clamp the branch optical fiber to make the optical fiber bend. When the ONT transmits uplink data, the bending of the optical fiber will cause light leakage, and the clamping device can detect the leaked light signal. The clamping device includes an optical fiber bending clamp, an optoelectronic conversion device, and a subsequent amplification and processing unit. After the optical fiber is bent by the clamping device, the leaked light becomes an electrical signal through the optoelectronic conversion device, the electrical signal passes through a pulse width sampling circuit and enters a restoration processing unit to identify the time slot width and obtain the sequence number of the ONT. Optionally, the clamping device can have a display screen to display the related results, and can also have a storage function. Optionally, the clamping device can have an electrical signal amplification unit. After the leaked light becomes an electrical signal through the optoelectronic conversion device, it can be amplified and processed, and then pass through the pulse sampling circuit.

[0140] Hereinafter, the operation of the clamping device will be described. Figure 9 The operation of the clamping device will be described.

[0141] Referring to Figure 9 An exemplary flowchart of the information identification method provided in the embodiment of the application can include the following operations:

[0142] S901, the clamping device detects the pulse envelope of the first optical signal.

[0143] The first optical signal can be a signal corresponding to a plurality of first time slots. The clamping device can convert the first optical signal into a first electrical signal, and then detect the pulse envelope of the first electrical signal. Optionally, the clamping device can amplify the first electrical signal before detecting the pulse envelope.

[0144] S902, the clamping device determines the width of the plurality of first time slots corresponding to the first optical signal based on the pulse envelope of the first optical signal.

[0145] Referring to Figure 10, the pulse width of the electrical signal in the one or more second time slots. The clamping device can identify the pulse width of the one or more second time slots, and determine a width sequence of the one or more second time slots. The clamping device can determine that the width sequence of the second time slot is used to mark the start position of the sequence number of the ONT. Then the clamping device can determine that the width sequence of the multiple first time slots after the one or more second time slots can be used to identify the sequence number of the ONT.

[0146] In a possible implementation, since the time slot width (i.e. the width of the second time slot) capable of identifying the start marker bit of the sequence number of the ONT is also defined, the clamping device can also detect the second optical signal. The second optical signal is converted from the electrical signal in the second time slot. Referring to Figure 10 , the pulse width of the electrical signal in the one or more second time slots. The clamping device can identify the pulse width of the one or more second time slots, and determine a width sequence of the one or more second time slots. The clamping device can determine that the width sequence of the second time slot is used to mark the start position of the sequence number of the ONT. Then the clamping device can determine that the width sequence of the multiple first time slots after the one or more second time slots can be used to identify the sequence number of the ONT.

[0147] Based on the same concept, referring to Figure 11 The embodiment of the present application provides a communication device 1100, the device 1100 comprises a processing unit 1101 and a transceiver unit 1102. The device 1100 can be an OLT, or can be applied to the OLT, can support the OLT to execute the information identification method, or the device 1100 can be an ONT, or can be applied to the ONT, can support the ONT to execute the information identification method.
